This Friday, Good Morning America offers a double dose of Broadway buzz, albeit with wildly different flavors. First up, Nicole Scherzinger discusses her “career-defining” (per the New York Times) turn as Norma Desmond in the latest revival of Sunset Boulevard.
I’m curious to hear Scherzinger’s take on tackling such an iconic role, especially given her initial admitted unfamiliarity with the musical itself.
Then, we pivot from the faded glamour of Hollywood to the…well, let’s call it the unique world of Tammy Faye Messner. Elton John, Katie Brayben, and Jake Shears will be on hand to discuss Tammy, the biographical musical about the mascara-loving televangelist. This feels like a project ripe for either spectacular success or magnificent failure.
Frankly, I’m more interested in the creative process than the finished product. What kind of conversations happen when you’re writing a musical about Tammy Faye Messner with Elton John? It’s a question that keeps me up at night.
Good Morning America airs Friday, October 25, 2024, at 7:00 am on ABC.
